[vtkusers] Help building Python wheels for VTK

[Taylor Braun-Jones]

I don't have an answer for you, but when you figure it out, would you be
willing to share the wheels the build recipe so that the Python vtk package
can be made available and maintained on PyPi (and installable via pip)?

Thanks and good luck!

Taylor
